The disease Arshas or Hemorrhoids is as old as mankind. Still, a large proportion of the world’s population is troubled by Hemorrhoids. This may be perhaps to the inconsistency of the human diet and to the social obligations demanded by civilization. This disease is generally not a threat of life, but causes considerable discomfort, enforced bed rest, absence from work with consequent economic ...

INTRODUCTION Placement of emergency cerclage at mid-trimester is controversial. At present, clinical trials comparing outcomes of mid-trimester cerclage to bed rest in twin pregnancies are lacking. Our aim was to examine the efficacy, safety and outcomes of mid-trimester cerclage in patients carrying twin gestations. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively studied the outcomes of 14 patients ...

We present a rare case of avulsion fracture of the reflected head of rectus femoris. This occurred in a 13-year-old male footballer. Diagnosis was made with pelvic radiology and treatment was bed rest and analgesia.

Immobility in bed and decreased mobility cause adaptations to most human body systems. The effect of immobility on fat accumulation in hemopoietic bone marrow has never been measured prospectively. The reversibility of marrow fat accumulation and the effects on hemopoiesis are not known. In the present study, 24 healthy women (age: 25-40 yr) underwent -6 degrees head-down bed rest for 60 days. ...

Head-down tilt bed rest (HDBR) has been used as a spaceflight analog to simulate the effects of microgravity exposure on human physiology, sensorimotor function, and cognition on Earth. Previous studies have reported that concurrent performance of motor and cognitive tasks can be impaired during space missions. Understanding the consequences of HDBR for neural control of dual tasking may possib...

With the technical assistance of M. Ross Recent reports have indicated that oral organomercurial compounds are effective in promoting diuresis in edematous states. In the majority of these studies, however, salt restriction, bed rest, and other medications were used. Therefore, the diuretic effects of the oral mercurials alone have not been properly assessed. In the present report, the effects ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Evidenced-based protocols for fluoroscopically guided LP do not exist. This study analyzed the fluoroscopically guided LP techniques currently used by practicing neuroradiologists. MATERIALS AND METHODS An anonymous Web-based survey was e-mailed to members of ASNR. The results were compiled and tabulated on a spreadsheet. RESULTS A total of 577 neuroradiologists compl...

An analysis of the local processes occurring in a trickle-bed bioreactor (TBB) with a first-order bioreaction shows that the identification of the TBB operating regime requires knowledge of the substrate concentration in the liquid phase. If the substrate liquid concentration is close to 0, the rate-controlling step is mass transfer at the gas-liquid interface; when it is close to the value in ...

Ten male subjects were studied for a total of 306 days on self-selected schedules. Four of them developed bedrest-activity cycle period lengths very different from 24 hr (mean = 36.8 hr) despite the persistence of near-24-hr oscillations in other physiologic functions, including that of body temperature (mean = 24.6 hr). The percentage of sleep time spent in REM sleep varied significantly with ...
